Wesley Worden Obituary
Mooresville, NC: Mr. Wesley Worden died Thursday, July 31, 2008, as a result of a tragic automobile accident.
He was born on August 27, 1936, in Rochester, New York, and was the son of the late Frederick and Florence Worden.
The family moved from Southern California to Mooresville 13 years ago. Wesley Worden touched the lives of everyone who came to know him. He was a strong man, but also a very loving man. He and his wife owned Oils Unlimited Gallery in Mooresville and it was like a hobby to him. His great love was spending time with his wife and daughter on Lake Norman boating and jet skiing.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Gail Worden, and his only child, Jann Worden. He is also survived by his sister, Adah Bachmann, and his brother, Wayne Worden, both of Rochester, New York.
Cavin-Cook Funeral Home of Mooresville is serving the family of Wesley Worden. Cremation was performed on August 4, 2008, and a private service for the family will be determined at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Heart Association.

All my personal best to you both.

Dear Gail,Adah,and Wayne,
I am shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Wesley's death! We had so many wonderfull times together when we were young. It is unfortunate that we lose touch as we get older, move and pursue our careers.
With love and prayers and thanks for the great memories.

Dear Jann-
I read about your dad in the Rochester paper today. I am so so sorry. I always wondered where you ended up once you moved from Victor all those years ago. I think about you from time to time, as I live near your old house on Dryer Road. I hope that you remember me, and please accept my sincerest condolences on the death of your beloved father. I hope that your mom is getting better.
Your childhood friend from Victor,
Theresa (Underhill) Annechino
